Microsoft Office 2008 update 12.2.8 fixes ability to selectively download images in email messages

In an earlier blog post, I had lamented the loss of the "Download Images" link at the top of the email message window. An astute commenter remarked that if you resize the email message window, then the link would magically appear. The link is back to normal after this most recent update.

In truth, I really don't care, though, since I've made the upgrade to Office 2011 and Outlook. Since I now work at Adobe Systems and we use Microsoft Exchange, Outlook is a great way to keep synched with my colleagues. I'll keep Office 2008 around, however, because you never know when you might need it.
